I missed another week last week, but I have plenty of bookmarks to post, so here they are. As always, I’m starting with the Twitter suggestions. Don’t forget, if you want a link to your Twitter account, just follow me on Twitter and tweet the following:

This week, I just have a couple again:

Bio: Founder & CEO of J-Vision Designs. Call me if you have questions or to find out how I can help you and/or your business today.

Official PSDs – Working on a client site, I was looking for a Facebook logo to add and came across this web site. They have tons of free layered PSDs for your projects.
Crazy Egg – If you have a blog or web site and want to know how your menu, ad, etc. placement is working for you, try out a service like this one. It tracks the actual mouse movements on your site so you get an idea of where people are looking.
Blacksocks.com – Subscribe to automatically replenish your black sock supply regularly.
iPod Touch powered robot – I love to see stuff like this where someone does something different and cool with technology. And it’s a robot… my weakness.
Logo My Way – This is a great way to get a good logo. Offer up a bounty for the winning entry (say $200) and get a couple hundred or so entries to sift through for your new logo.
Waze real-time driving updates – It’s a mobile app that gives real-time user-submitted updates about accidents, construction, incidents, etc.
Last week was busy… It was so busy, in fact, that I didn’t get around to the Bookmark Friday. I know many of you look forward to it and I’m sorry I missed it. This week is just as busy, but I told myself I wouldn’t end the day without posting my bookmarks, so here we go. As always, I’m starting with the Twitter suggestions. Don’t forget, if you want a link to your Twitter account, just follow me on Twitter and tweet the following:

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid – They gave me one for a week for review consideration and I loved it. I’m seriously pricing it with options this weekend. Review should be up soon, too.
Rap Chop video – Have you ever seen the Slap Chop infomercial? This DJ remixed it with music and it rocks. 1.8 million people agree with me.
Url Shortener – I’m building a better URL shortening service. It’s in private alpha right now, but if you want to play, your alpha key is “thisissparta”. GO!
Boonex – I thought this was kind of neat. You can create your own social network with it.
Download Windows 7 – Want to download and try Windows 7 for free? Here you go!
Inspiring on Flickr – If you like taking photos like I do, you’ll enjoy seeing the 5 most inspiring people on Flickr.
From zero to Forbes in a week – Maybe not Forbes, but this is a great example of quick thinking and good marketing to capitalize on a media frenzy.
It’s been a long weekend. I had too many posts ready for Friday, so I moved Bookmark Friday to Bookmark Sunday. Sorry for the delay this week. Lots of bookmarks this week, especially for Martin, who was asking about them when I went out last night.
Despite being late, we’re going to start off with some Twitter users you should follow. Remember, all anyone had to do was follow me on Twitter and tweet the following:

Thanks to everyone who retweets my requests for Bookmark Fridays and sends me bookmark suggestions, too. Now on with the bookmarks for the week:
Credit card processing with the iPhone – This is one of those “why didn’t I develop that?” apps. It’s a simple idea that enables anyone with an iPhone to process credit cards anywhere.
Hummer H3 Hybrid = 100+MPG – It’s a little hard to swallow, right? Apparently, this hybrid H3 will make you think twice about Hummers being eco-horrible. They’re still too big for my taste, though.
Which Date Works? – This is another simple idea with elegant execution. Get everyone to hit the site, choose their available dates (for, say, a dinner party), and the site mashes it all together and spits out the best date for everyone.
TileStack – This is a platform where non-developers can create applications by stacking various components together instead of writing code. I’m actually working on something along the same thought process, just not as pretty or proprietary.
Nine Inch Nails iPhone app – Trent shows his geeky side again with a NIN iPhone app. It’s pretty cool, too. My screenshots are all here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodomain1/sets/72157616853639142/
Making of Doom – This is a pretty cool video inside ID Software while they’re getting Doom ready for release long, long ago, in… this galaxy.
Space Invaders coasters – Nice! I’m working on an idea similar to (but better than) this, too.
Catapult business card – This is one of the best business cards I’ve seen for an engineer. No need for a resume. Just hand your future employer this card and tell them how much to pay you.
Zippo laser projector – You know how I love lasers. This guy crammed a lase projector into an emptied out Zippo.
LCD gift wrap – Write your own message on this LCD wrapping paper.
3D printing at home – We’re getting closer and closer to decent yet affordable home fabricating. In 5 years, I’ll bet you can buy a good 3D printer for under $300. With more and more people launching their own products with Ponoko end Etsy, it’ll be a welcomed offering.
